    Abstract: Dual sided safety-enhancing mesh panel arrays are provided for use along bounding area perimeter-sides of a plurality of trampoline mats in one or more arrays or series of trampolines. Each mesh panel array comprises a reinforced perimeter interiorly supporting principally parallel, longitudinally-tensionable straps distributed laterally at generally evenly-spaced apart intervals, such that a mesh material secured intermediate parallel straps and upper and lower perimeter-side portions of the array forms each mesh panel. Longitudinally-tensionable straps each have an upper end coupled with an adjustable tensioner, and a lower end coupled with a lower adjustable-length coupling, providing a collective tensioning of the straps/array. Shaped arrangements of arrays are provided. In one embodiment a shaped array arrangement has exteriorly-adjacent planar padding protectively covered by an outwardly-extending mat flap portions.
